personally appeared in open Court before the Jus- tices of the Court of Pleas and Quarters Sessions of said County now sitting holding said Court at the Court house in the Town of Murfreesboro. Cornelius Glasgow aged 72 years a resident of said County who being first duly sworn according to Law doth on his Oath make the following declara- tion in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Anusup passed June 4- 1832
He was born in the State of North Carolina in Rutherford County in the year 1760. the month he does not recollect, having no record of his age As far as he can recollect from the record of the family, as which is kept by his brother in Rutherford County this State, that he was born in that year
In the year 1776. in the 16 th year of his age he volunteered in that County for five months to go a campaign to Charleston. His Captain was James Phillips. His Lieutenants Samuel Leeper & Joel Archie Ensign, who was taken prisoner at Briar Creek South Carolina. His Col. Col. Lachlan McLane who lived some where in the upper part of North Carolina.
He was  was then young in the fall of the year was at Edenton in N.C. from where we marched to Charleston in the vicinity of which at a place then called Mount Corral we staid two weeks. from where we marched to Briar Creek towards the Georgia line at which place the army had a small skirmish with the British Troops, in which we lost several killed, & some were taken prisoners; we were kept in that neighborhood, sometimes moving back

wards I forwards up & down the length, to prevent sickness in the Army. until we were discharged at the end of our time, & he returned home. There were some regular Officers & Soldiers out with us but I do not recollect their names - as we were not permitted to mix much with them;
In the spring of 1781. he returned again for three months ago on a tour to Port Royal in the State of Virginia some where about 30 miles South of Norfolk. his Capt. was the same that he went under before his Lieutenant Pres. Dutton, and Samuel Hurly Ensign. his Col. was Col Peter Hoggins of Camden County N.C. We landed near at Cambridge Sound then on the Sea Shore, Marched to New Creek in same County where we waited some days for the other Companies; then Marched to Watrous, and during the balance of the time we were engaged in Scout- -ing parties; and guarding the Sea Coast from the incursions of the British; There were no regular troops or officers with us, except a Col Parker who as well as I recollect was called a regular Officer a Mountain Company; he commanded two hundred fifty men & two hundred men between: General Gregory of Camden County North Carolina commanded us at that time; In the course of the Campaign, we were once called out by Col Parker, under expectation of a Skirmish with the British; at which time he & Genl Gregory fell into a despicable quarrel at the end of 3 months we were discharged & returned home; In the fall of the same year, he again returned to go a three months tour, under Capt

Timothy Erving of Connecticut - and Col. Samuel Davis of the same Unit on leaving here no inferior officer of ours being nothing but what was then called a Col's Command. As guard the Coast. In this campaign we staid but one month, which we spent at North West in Virginia, at the end of which we were discharged.
In the summer of 1781. as well as he now understood a requisition was made for my Connecticut men in an army; he volunteered for a then an Eighteen months service, we rendezvoused at Wilmington North Carolina about three months after we turned out as volunteers which was owing to the fact that the due bills of our Military Affairs could not be taken for payment. Upon our arrival in Carolina of which we had to pass for officers of the line, we were mustered into service & commanded by Capt. William Watten a Continental Officer: we then joined our regiment but soon moved about from place to place, as we were ordered about, to protect the Seaboard, and to intercept the lines. we were under the command of Colonel Henry Morgan of North Hampshire Line of North Carolina; who was not with us at any time: I do not know to what regiment Capt. Watten belonged, or he might have been an Officer commanding the state Troops, we had a Lieutenant. About June but no insignia we were in the interior, during this time but we engaged in a country party in Sals,

Heartland Center, but principally in the latter. we were most of our time engaged in pursuit of the Tories in the neighborhood of Crofton in which County he does not now reside. New Rd. which was a strong Tory settlement. he was discharged from service two months before the 18 months expired. of the formation of the Ulster. When he returned home.
I resided during the Ulster or called my home in Carmichaels. County from which I removed in about two years after the Ulster to what was then called Henderson County in the Western Territory of North Carolina, now present County Tennessee. where I resided until 1825. When I moved in the direction of that year to West of County where I now reside eight miles West of Henderson.
I made a disagreeable discovery. last when I came to the West. I expected to return. I left there with all my other papers with my Brother in Carmi- chael. on my return in about two years I found that my Brother had destroyed them, having understood as he informed me that they were worth less of any value to me.
I know of no surviving of whom I can prove my relation. I have no documentary evidence of them. I was a witness of James M c Call there about that time, but did not live with me. I was recommended by his Brother Capt. William M c Call in my place.

Campaign: I was a Sergeant in my Company during all my Campaigns except the first one.
I am known in my neighborhood to Rev. Nathan T. Stone David H. Warner and a good many persons who can testify as to my character for veracity and the belief of my services as a Revolutionary Soldier.
He hereby relinquishes any claim to a pension or annuity except the pension and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any the army of any state.

Dear Sir
You will find enclosed my declaration and evidence for the purpose of obtaining the bene- fit of an act of congress passed 1828 -
Then I forwarded, during the time Mr. Rush was Secretary of the Secy. but I failed to mention, or to have it stated, in the evidence from what State I enlisted in the Revolutionary war - Mr. Rush wrote me back informing me of that omission and also advised me to send an a- gain and to have it shown distinctly - which I have now endeavoured to do - You will also notice from the evidence that I did not receive the certif- icate for the reward of eighty dollars - and you will also see

Then stated the reason why I did not receive said certificate - That I enlisted in the army of the revo- lution and and served until peace was made, there is no doubt as one of the recruiters to my certificates knew me then and is now my neighbor.
And that I am also one of that class of persons which Congress intended to benefit by the law there is no little doubt - If any thing is yet lacking to entitle me to the benefit of said law you will please inform me what it is - for I am now old and infirm, & poor and without any labor- ing assistance - You will please address any communication on the subject to my friend S. A. Warner, whose hand I use in writing this letter and lines

near the post office in Dresden and will forward to me any intelligenc. he may receive on the subject for I am but seldom in Dresden,
Your attentions to the above will, Dear Sir, very much oblige your friend and will unite —
